Reorganizing Government Act of 2025

This bill renews the President’s power to propose plans to reorganize parts of the executive branch to improve efficiency, through December 31, 2026. It updates the law’s wording to cover “executive departments” broadly and sets clearer goals: cut the number of federal employees, reduce costly and burdensome rules, and eliminate government activities that don’t serve the public interest .

It also defines “executive department” to include executive departments, agencies, independent establishments, and wholly owned government corporations, as well as offices and officers in the executive branch, but not the Government Accountability Office or the Comptroller General. It adds a new limit aimed at avoiding any net increase in federal workers or spending in reorganization plans. The reorganization authority is extended by changing prior sunset dates to December 31, 2026.

• What changes: Sets goals to reduce staff, cut burdensome rules, and remove activities not in the public interest; adds a limit to avoid net increases in workers or spending; updates terminology to “executive departments” .
